About this map

The Saint Francis River and its managed tributaries form the heart of this landscape along the Mille Lacs Co Sherburne Co border. A complex network of drainage infrastructure, including County Ditch Number Six and County Ditch Number Three, reveals the historical efforts to manage the low-lying wetlands of Greenbush Township. The presence of Pool 7 and several small, unnamed water bodies suggests a region characterized by waterfowl habitat and seasonal saturation.

Local history is anchored by the Greenbush Cem located near 20th St, while the eastern portion of the map is defined by the winding course of the W Br Rum River and the basin of Rice Lake. This survey illustrates the persistent agricultural and conservation-focused character of the region, where the grid of rural roads such as Co Rd 7 and Co Rd 130 intersects with natural features like Prairie Brook and Battle Brook.
